# Conductor Monitoring Setup Guide

> Step-by-step setup instructions for Editor, Manager, or Admin users configuring a new Conductor Monitoring account.

This guide is primarily intended for users responsible for configuring your organization's new Conductor Monitoring account. Some of the steps below require an Editor, Manager, or Admin user type. For more information about user types, refer to the [Users & Roles](/docs/monitoring/users-roles/) article.

## Step 1: Add websites

***Who can do it?** Manager or Admin*

### Why?

Adding websites is how you determine what pages you want to monitor with Conductor Monitoring.

You can add as many websites to Conductor Monitoring as you want in increments of 100 pages, as long as they fit in your [Page Bundle](/docs/monitoring/page-bundle-and-page-capacity/#page-bundle).

### How?

* [Managing websites in Conductor Monitoring](/docs/monitoring/managing-websites-in-conductor-monitoring/)
* [Add one or more websites](/docs/monitoring/managing-websites-in-conductor-monitoring/#adding-or-removing-websites)

[Okay, I added my website. What's next?](#step-2-manage-monitoring-settings)

## Step 2: Manage monitoring settings

***Who can do it?** Editor, Manager, or Admin*

### Why?

Conductor Monitoring allows you to adjust the monitoring settings for each website in your account to ensure your websites have the optimal monitoring setup that is tailored to your specific needs.

You can configure crawl settings like the crawl speed and frequency, the device type, the user agent, and more.

### How?

* [Website Monitoring Settings in Conductor Monitoring](/docs/monitoring/monitoring-settings-in-conductor-monitoring/)
* [Advanced settings](/docs/monitoring/monitoring-settings-in-conductor-monitoring/#advanced-settings)

[I've configured my monitoring settings. Now what?](#step-3-integrate-other-website-performance-metrics)

## Step 3: Integrate Other Website Performance Metrics

***Who can do it?** Editor, Manager, or Admin*

### Why?

Integrating your web analytics and Google Search Console accounts into Conductor Monitoring makes it easier to analyze performance and prioritize optimization effort. Segment pages by performance to break down your analysis and focus on the most important and effective (or potentially underperforming) parts of your site.

### How?

* Integrate [Google Analytics](/docs/monitoring/google-analytics-in-conductor-monitoring/) or [Adobe Analytics](/docs/monitoring/adobe-analytics-in-conductor-monitoring/) with Conductor Monitoring
* [Integrate Google Search Console with Conductor Monitoring](/docs/monitoring/google-search-console-in-conductor-monitoring/)

[Integrated! What's next?](#step-4-create-segments-and-configure-alerts)

## Step 4: Create segments and configure alerts

***Who can do it?** Editor, Manager, or Admin*

### Why?

Segments allow you to create logical groupings of your pages based on your needs, which you can then use to make your reporting more effective and to customize the auditing suite. Conductor Monitoring comes with one default segment ("Important pages"), but you can create more to best address your reporting needs.

Alerts notify you about all important changes that happen on your website. By default, you receive them via email, but you can also get them via Slack or Microsoft Teams.

### How?

* [Segments](/docs/monitoring/segments/)
* [Alerts](/docs/monitoring/alerts/)
* [Configuring Alerts](/docs/monitoring/configuring-alerts/)
* [Video Training: Customize Your Auditing with Segments](/docs/platform/learning-center/tutorials/platform-technical-seo-workflows-with-conductor-monitoring/#customizing-your-auditing-with-segments)
* [Video Training: Get notified of technical issues as they happen with Alerts](/docs/platform/learning-center/tutorials/platform-technical-seo-workflows-with-conductor-monitoring/#get-notified-of-technical-issues-as-they-happen-with-alerts)

[Okay, I set up segments and alerts. What should I do next?](#step-5-add-your-team)

## Step 5: Add your team

***Who can do it?** Manager or Admin*

### Why?

With Conductor Monitoring you never pay per seat, so you’re not limited by the number of team members you can add to your account. Consider any people at your organization who might benefit from the insights derived from Conductor Monitoring's data.

### How?

* [Adding new users](/docs/monitoring/users-roles/#adding-removing-and-changing-users)

[Okay, I've sent invites to Conductor Monitoring. Next?](#step-6-get-the-chrome-extension)

## Step 6: Get the Chrome Extension

***Who can do it?** Any user*

### Why?

The Conductor Monitoring Chrome extension allows you to view Conductor Monitoring metrics and data about your websites directly in your browser. When browsing a website that is being monitored by Conductor Monitoring, you can easily view all Conductor Monitoring data about the page you are currently visiting.

### How?
